(11/09/2026) — The LSU Tigers women's basketball team delivered a commanding performance Monday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, routing the McNeese Cowgirls 100-43 in front of 9,202 fans. The Tigers led wire-to-wire, never surrendering the lead and never allowing the game to be tied, showcasing deep offensive firepower from the opening tip to the final buzzer. ## How It Happened LSU set the tone immediately. ZaKiyah Johnson opened the scoring with a layup assisted by MiLaysia Fulwiley with 9:51 remaining in the first quarter, and the Tigers never relented. McNeese showed some early life — Carley Hamilton drained a 26-foot three-pointer to cut it to 16-7 with 1:17 left in the opening period — but LSU answered with a Sarah Taub triple to close the quarter ahead 18-10. The second quarter is where the Tigers pulled away decisively. Fulwiley knocked down a 26-footer early in the period, and Noa Morro delivered back-to-back three-pointers — both set up by Jada Williams — to push the lead to 45-23. McNeese's Laura Martinez kept the Cowgirls in the conversation briefly with back-to-back triples of her own, but LSU countered each time. Valencia Fontenelle-Posson's 26-foot three just before halftime made it 48-26, leaving LSU with a commanding 22-point cushion at the break. The third quarter erased any remaining doubt. Johnson opened the second half with another layup, Williams fed Fulwiley for a 24-footer that pushed the margin to 59-26 by the 8:15 mark, and LSU's ball movement remained relentless. By the time Anna Minaeva converted a layup at the 0:16 mark to make it 75-37, the game had long since been decided. ## Turning Point The decisive sequence arrived in the fourth quarter, when LSU reeled off a 15-0 run to extend the lead from 72-37 all the way to 86-37. Morro hit a 24-foot three at the 7:09 mark, and Lola Lampley — assisted by Fulwiley — drained a 25-footer 29 seconds later to cap the surge. McNeese had no answer for the Tigers' perimeter shooting or ball movement, and the run sealed the outcome completely. Mikaylah Williams punctuated the evening by draining a 26-foot three at the final buzzer, giving LSU the century mark at 100-43. ## Star of the Game Mikaylah Williams was the engine driving LSU's offense from start to finish. She finished with 17 points, 3 rebounds, and a game-high 8 assists, threading passes through the McNeese defense throughout the night and capping the performance with the closing three-pointer. ZaKiyah Johnson powered the interior with 14 points and 8 rebounds, converting both of her layups off Fulwiley assists. Fulwiley herself contributed 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists — including two critical three-pointers in the second half — while Morro added 12 points and 4 rebounds, repeatedly finding the range from beyond the arc off Williams' playmaking. As a team, the Tigers shot 55% from the field and 36% from three, while holding a substantial 55-26 rebounding advantage over the Cowgirls. ## What It Means For LSU, reaching 100 points in this performance signals genuine depth and execution. The Tigers didn't just score — they moved the ball with purpose, generating 25 assists against only 11 turnovers and dominating on the glass. Williams' eight assists underscore an offense built on sharing, not just individual creation. The Pete Maravich Assembly Center delivered an energized atmosphere with 9,202 fans, and the Tigers responded with the kind of complete performance that sets an early-season tone. For McNeese, the loss came against a program operating at the sport's highest level. The Cowgirls connected on just 20% of their field goal attempts and 20% from three, committing 15 turnovers while being outrebounded by 29. Fontenelle-Posson led all McNeese scorers with 10 points and 4 rebounds, while Martinez added 9 points including three triples. The Cowgirls will look to build from this experience as the 2026 season continues. --- *Original article: [SEC Women's Basketball: LSU Tigers Dominates McNeese Cowgirls 100-43](https://secscouts.com/news/sec-women-s-basketball-lsu-tigers-dominates-mcneese-cowgirls-100-43) — SEC Scouts*
